While reading this I found it to be... engaging might be the right word, anyway that's a good thing, as you appear to sound like somebody who has a good way with words. Did you actually have anything published from the stuff that you sent to major publishers?
I've also just recently joined Steemit myself and I find the community to be really chill for the most part, however I guess you won't really be into the stuff I post about :) it's about gaming, but adding a touch of literature/philosophy there as well now
It's great to meet you, and thank you for the good thoughts!
To answer the question on publishing, I'm published with some short works in poetry, a few prose pieces. I keep trying :P
As for what I'm into, I'm a gamer, and a lit freak as well, so we may have a lot in common!
I'm heading over to follow you, I want to read more of what you put in!
